Langley k's 15, but Hitmen lose

ST. CROIX, N.S. - The Kinkora Hitmen spoiled a 15-strikeout night by 
pitcher Steve Langley, losing 2-1 to the Brookfield Elks in extra innings 
to fall to 1-4 here Wednesday night at the Canadian Senior Men's Fast Pitch 
Championship.

Langley, of Trenton, N.S., went 7.3 innings, allowing one earned run (the 
winning run was scored on an error) and walked one to record the loss.

The Hitmen now face the dubious task of winning their final two games to 
even come close to securing a spot in the playoff round and will need some 
help even to do that. They face the Saskatoon Black Sox (4-0) heading into 
Wednesday action at 1 p.m. before facing the host Halifax Murphy's Fish and 
Chips Keith's (2-2) at 4:30 p.m. in a game rescheduled from Tuesday due to 
heavy rains.

Against the Elks, Kinkora got out to a 1-0 first inning lead when 
Alberton's Jeff Ellsworth (1-3, run scored) scored from third base on a 
throwing error. Other top batters for the Pat McIver-coached Hitmen were 
Wade Smith (2-4) and Steve Langley (1-3).

Mike Miller (1-3, two runs scored) and Ryan Flynn (1-3, two RBI) were the 
only hitters for Brookfield to get a read on Langley, but an error by Craig 
Manuel cost the Hitmen the winning run.

Winning pitcher Pat Slaunwhite went eight innings allowing one run, five 
hits, walked two and struck out nine.
